Tests to Predict Numerical Outcomes and Identify Groups:

IBM SPSS Statistics Base contains procedures for the projects you are working on now and any new ones to come. You can be confident that you'll always have the analytic tools you need to get the job done quickly and effectively.

Factor Analysis - Used to identify the underlying variables, or factors, that explain the pattern of correlations within a set of observed variables. In IBM SPSS Statistics Base, the factor analysis procedure provides a high degree of flexibility, offering:

Seven methods of factor extraction

Five methods of rotation, including direct oblimin and promax for nonorthogonal rotations

Three methods of computing factor scores. Also, scores can be saved as variables for further analysis

K-means Cluster Analysis - Used to identify relatively homogeneous groups of cases based on selected characteristics, using an algorithm that can handle large numbers of cases but which requires you to specify the number of clusters. Select one of two methods for classifying cases, either updating cluster centers iteratively or classifying only.

Hierarchical Cluster Analysis - Used to identify relatively homogeneous groups of cases (or variables) based on selected characteristics, using an algorithm that starts with each case in a separate cluster and combines clusters until only one is left. Analyze raw variables or choose from a variety of standardizing transformations. Distance or similarity measures are generated by the Proximities procedure. Statistics are displayed at each stage to help you select the best solution.

TwoStep Cluster Analysis - Group observations into clusters based on nearness criterion, with either categorical or continuous level data; specify the number of clusters or let the number be chosen automatically.

Discriminant - Offers a choice of variable selection methods, statistics at each step and in a final summary; output is displayed at each step and/or in final form.

Ordinal regression—PLUM - Choose from seven options to control the iterative algorithm used for estimation, to specify numerical tolerance for checking singularity, and to customize output; five link functions can be used to specify the model.

Nearest Neighbor analysis - Use for prediction (with a specified outcome) or for classification (with no outcome specified); specify the distance metric used to measure the similarity of cases; and control whether missing values or categorical variables are treated as valid values.

Program using a Java plug-in – Call SPSS Statistics functionality from a Java application and have SPSS Statistics output appear in the Java application. You can also use Java to control, react to and embed program logic into your SPSS Statistics jobs.

General linear models (GLM) – Provides you with more flexibility to describe the relationship between a dependent variable and a set of independent variables. The GLM gives you flexible design and contrast options to estimate means and variances and to test and predict means. You can also mix and match categorical and continuous predictors to build models. Because GLM doesn't limit you to one data type, you have options that provide you with a wealth of model-building possibilities.

The linear mixed models procedure expands the general linear models used in the GLM procedure so that you can analyze data that exhibit correlation and non-constant variability. If you work with data that display correlation and non-constant variability, such as data that represent students nested within classrooms or consumers nested within families, use the linear mixed models procedure to model means, variances and covariances in your data.

Its flexibility means you can formulate dozens of models, including split-plot design, multi-level models with fixed-effects covariance, and randomized complete blocks design. You can also select from 11 non-spatial covariance types, including first-order ante-dependence, heterogeneous, and first-order autoregressive. You'll reach more accurate predictive models because it takes the hierarchical structure of your data into account.

You can also use linear mixed models if you're working with repeated measures data, including situations in which there are different numbers of repeated measurements, different intervals for different cases, or both. Unlike standard methods, linear mixed models use all your data and give you a more accurate analysis.

Generalized linear models (GENLIN): GENLIN covers not only widely used statistical models, such as linear regression for normally distributed responses, logistic models for binary data, and loglinear model for count data, but also many useful statistical models via its very general model formulation. The independence assumption, however, prohibits generalized linear models from being applied to correlated data.

More Statistics for Data Analysis

Expand the capabilities of IBM® SPSS® Statistics Base for the data analysis stage in the analytical process. Using IBM SPSS Regression with IBM SPSS Statistics Base gives you an even wider range of statistics so you can get the most accurate response for specific data types.

IBM SPSS Regression includes:

Multinomial logistic regression (MLR): Regress a categorical dependent variable with more than two categories on a set of independent variables. This procedure helps you accurately predict group membership within key groups.
You can also use stepwise functionality, including forward entry, backward elimination, forward stepwise or backward stepwise, to find the best predictor from dozens of possible predictors. If you have a large number of predictors, Score and Wald methods can help you more quickly reach results. You can access your model fit using Akaike information criterion (AIC) and Bayesian information criterion (BIC; also called Schwarz Bayesian criterion, or SBC).

Binary logistic regression: Group people with respect to their predicted action. Use this procedure if you need to build models in which the dependent variable is dichotomous (for example, buy versus not buy, pay versus default, graduate versus not graduate). You can also use binary logistic regression to predict the probability of events such as solicitation responses or program participation.
With binary logistic regression, you can select variables using six types of stepwise methods, including forward (the procedure selects the strongest variables until there are no more significant predictors in the dataset) and backward (at each step, the procedure removes the least significant predictor in the dataset) methods. You can also set inclusion or exclusion criteria. The procedure produces a report telling you the action it took at each step to determine your variables.

Nonlinear regression (NLR) and constrained nonlinear regression (CNLR): Estimate nonlinear equations. If you are you working with models that have nonlinear relationships, for example, if you are predicting coupon redemption as a function of time and number of coupons distributed, estimate nonlinear equations using one of two IBM SPSS Statistics procedures: nonlinear regression (NLR) for unconstrained problems and constrained nonlinear regression (CNLR) for both constrained and unconstrained problems.
NLR enables you to estimate models with arbitrary relationships between independent and dependent variables using iterative estimation algorithms, while CNLR enables you to:

Weighted least squares (WLS): If the spread of residuals is not constant, the estimated standard errors will not be valid. Use Weighted Least Square to estimate the model instead (for example, when predicting stock values, stocks with higher shares values fluctuate more than low value shares.)

Two-stage least squares (2LS): Use this technique to estimate your dependent variable when the independent variables are correlated with the regression error terms.
For example, a book club may want to model the amount they cross-sell to members using the amount that members spend on books as a predictor. However, money spent on other items is money not spent on books, so an increase in cross-sales corresponds to a decrease in book sales. Two-Stage Least-Squares Regression corrects for this error.

Probit analysis: Probit analysis is most appropriate when you want to estimate the effects of one or more independent variables on a categorical dependent variable.
For example, you would use probit analysis to establish the relationship between the percentage taken off a product, and whether a customer will buy as the prices decreases. Then, for every percent taken off the price you can work out the probability that a consumer will buy the product.

IBM SPSS Regression includes additional diagnostics for use when developing a classification table

More than a simple reporting tool, IBM SPSS Custom Tables combines comprehensive analytical capabilities with interactive table-building features to help you learn from your data and communicate the results of your analyses as professional-looking tables that are easy to read and interpret.

Compare means or proportions for demographic groups, customer segments, time periods or other categorical variables when you include inferential statistics

Export tables to Microsoft® Word, Excel®, PowerPoint® or HTML for use in reports

IBM SPSS Custom Tables is an analytical tool that helps you augment your reports with information your readers need to make more informed decisions.

Use inferential statistics—also known as significance testing—in your tables to perform common analyses: Compare means or proportions for demographic groups, customer segments, time periods, or other categorical variables; and identify trends, changes, or major differences in your data. IBM SPSS Custom Tables includes the following significance tests:

Chi-square test of independence

Comparison of column means (t test)

Comparison of column proportions (z test)

You can also choose from a variety of summary statistics, which include everything from simple counts for categorical variables to measures of dispersion. Summary statistics are included for:

Categorical variables

Multiple response sets

Scale variables

Custom total summaries for categorical variables

When your analysis is complete, you can use IBM SPSS Custom Tables to create customized tabular reports suitable for a variety of audiences—including those without a technical background.

IBM SPSS Data Preparation Overview, Features, and Benefits

IBM® SPSS® Data Preparation gives analysts advanced techniques to streamline the data preparation stage of the analytical process. All researchers have to prepare their data before analysis. While basic data preparation tools are included in IBM SPSS Statistics Base, IBM SPSS Data Preparation provides specialized techniques to prepare your data for more accurate analyses and results.

Use the specialized data preparation techniques in IBM SPSS Data Preparation to facilitate data preparation in the analytical process. IBM SPSS Data Preparation easily plugs into IBM SPSS Statistics Base so you can seamlessly work in the IBM SPSS environment.

Perform Data Checks

Data validation has typically been a manual process. You might run a frequency on your data, print the frequencies, circle what needs to be fixed and check for case IDs. This approach is time consuming and prone to errors. And since every analyst in your organization could use a slightly different method, maintaining consistency from project to project may be a challenge.

To eliminate manual checks, use the IBM SPSS Data Preparation Validate Data procedure. This enables you to apply rules to perform data checks based on each variable's measure level (whether categorical or continuous).

For example, if you're analyzing data that has variables on a five-point Likert scale, use the Validate Data procedure to apply a rule for five-point scales and flag all cases that have values outside of the 1-5 range. You can receive reports of invalid cases as well as summaries of rule violations and the number of cases affected. You can specify validation rules for individual variables (such as range checks) and cross-variable checks (for example, "retired 30 year-olds").

With this knowledge you can determine data validity and remove or correct suspicious cases at your discretion before analysis.

Quickly Find Multivariate Outliers

Prevent outliers from skewing analyses when you use the IBM SPSS Data Preparation Anomaly Detection procedure. This searches for unusual cases based upon deviations from similar cases, and gives reasons for such deviations. You can flag outliers by creating a new variable. Once you have identified unusual cases, you can further examine them and determine if they should be included in your analyses.

Pre-process Data before Model Building

In order to use algorithms that are designed for nominal attributes (such as Naïve Bayes and logit models), you must bin your scale variables before model building. If scale variables aren't binned, algorithms such as multinomial logistic regression will take an extremely long time to process or they might not converge. This is especially true if you have a large dataset. In addition, the results you receive may be difficult to read or interpret.

IBM SPSS Data Preparation Optimal Binning, however, enables you to determine cutpoints to help you reach the best possible outcome for algorithms designed for nominal attributes.

With this procedure, you can select from three types of binning for pre processing data:

Unsupervised -- create bins with equal counts

Supervised -- take the target variable into account to determine cutpoints. This method is more accurate than unsupervised; however, it is also more computationally intensive.

Hybrid approach -- combines the unsupervised and supervised approaches. This method is particularly useful if you have a large number of distinct values.

IBM SPSS Missing Values

IBM® SPSS® Missing Values is used by survey researchers, social scientists, data miners, market researchers and others to validate data.

Missing data can seriously affect your models – and your results. Ignoring missing data, or assuming that excluding missing data is sufficient, risks reaching invalid and insignificant results. To ensure that you take missing values into account, make IBM SPSS Missing Values part of your data management and preparation.

Uncover Missing Data Patterns

Easily examine data from several different angles using one of six diagnostic reports, then estimate summary statistics and impute missing values

Quickly diagnose serious missing data imputation problems

Replace missing values with estimates

Display a snapshot of each type of missing value and any extreme values for each case

Remove hidden bias by replacing missing values with estimates to include all groups ¬– even those with poor responsiveness

Uncover Missing Data Patterns

With IBM SPSS Missing Values, you can easily examine data from several different angles using one of six diagnostic reports to uncover missing data patterns. You can then estimate summary statistics and impute missing values through regression or expectation maximization algorithms (EM algorithms).

Quickly and Easily Diagnose Your Missing Data

Quickly diagnose a serious missing data problem using the data patterns report, which provides a case-by-case overview of your data. This report helps you determine the extent of missing data; it displays a snapshot of each type of missing value and any extreme values for each case.

Reach More Valid Conclusions

Replace missing values with estimates and increase the chance of receiving statistically significant results. Remove hidden bias from your data by replacing missing values with estimates to include all groups in your analysis – even those with poor responsiveness.

Use Multiple Imputation to Replace Missing Data Values

IBM SPSS Missing Values' multiple imputation procedure will help you understand patterns of “missingness” in your dataset and enable you to replace missing values with plausible estimates. It offers a fully automatic imputation mode that chooses the most suitable imputation method based on characteristics of your data, while also allowing you to customize your imputation model.

Several complete datasets are generated (typically, three to five), each with a different set of replacement values. Next, you can model the individual datasets, using techniques such as linear regression, to produce parameter estimates for each dataset. Then you can obtain final parameter estimates. This involves pooling the individual sets of parameter estimates obtained in step two and computing inferential statistics that take into account variation within and between imputations.

Analysis of the individual datasets and pooling of the results are supported via existing IBM SPSS Statistics procedures such as REGRESSION. When operating on datasets with imputed values, existing procedures will automatically produce pooled parameter estimates.

Fill in the Blanks for Improved Data Management

IBM SPSS Missing Values has the statistics you need to fill in missing data:

Univariate: compute count, mean, standard deviation, and standard error of mean for all cases excluding those containing missing values, count and percent of missing values, and extreme values for all variables

Estimate the means, covariance matrix, and correlation matrix of quantitative variables with missing values, assuming normal distribution, t distribution with degrees of freedom, or a mixed-normal distribution with any mixture proportion and any standard deviation ratio

Impute missing data and save the completed data as a file

Regression algorithm

Estimate the means, covariance matrix, and correlation matrix of variables set as dependent; set number of predictor variables; set random elements as normal, t, residuals, or none

IBM SPSS Missing Values also has features that enable you to analyze patterns and manage data, including the ability to:

Display missing data and extreme cases for all cases and all variables using the data patterns table

Determine differences between missing and non-missing groups for a related variable with the separate t test table

Assess how much missing data for one variable relates to the missing data of another variable using the percent mismatch of patterns table

IBM SPSS Complex Samples provides the specialized planning tools and statistics you need when working with complex sample designs, such as stratified, clustered or multistage sampling.

This module of IBM SPSS Statistics is an indispensable for survey and market researchers, public opinion researchers or social scientists seeking to reach more accurate conclusions when working with sample survey methodology. You can more accurately work with numerical and categorical outcomes in complex sample designs using two algorithms for analysis and prediction. In addition, you can use this module’s techniques to predict time to an event

Only IBM® SPSS® Complex Samples makes understanding and working with your complex sample survey results easy. Through the intuitive interface, you can analyze data and interpret results. Choose from one of several wizards to make it easier to create plans, analyze data and interpret results.

When you're finished, you can publish public-use datasets and include your sampling and analysis plans. These plans act as a template and allow you to save all the decisions made when creating the plan – define it once and you're done. This saves time and improves accuracy for yourself and others who may want to plug your plans into the data to replicate results or pick up where you left off.

Use the following types of sample design information with IBM SPSS Complex Samples:

Stratified sampling – Increase the precision of your sample or ensure a representative sample from key groups by choosing to sample within subgroups of the survey population.

Multistage sampling – Select an initial or first-stage sample based on groups of elements in your population; then create a second-stage sample by drawing a sub-sample from each selected unit in the first-stage sample. By repeating this option, you can select a higher-stage sample.

Everything You Need for Planning

To help you through the planning stage in the analytical process, IBM SPSS Complex Samples provides you with specialized tools and procedures for working with sample survey data:

IBM SPSS Complex Samples Plan (CSPLAN) – Use this procedure to specify the sampling frame to create a complex sample design or analysis specification used by companion procedures in IBM SPSS Complex Samples.

Sampling Plan Wizard – If you are creating your own samples, use the Sampling Plan Wizard to define the scheme and draw the sample.

Analysis Preparation Wizard – If you're using public-use datasets that already have samples, use the Analysis Plan Wizard to specify how the samples were defined and how standard errors should be estimated.

Plan files – Once you have created plan files, you can save them and treat them as templates. This allows you to save all the decisions you made when creating the plan. This saves time and improves accuracy for yourself and others who may want to plug your plans into the data to replicate results or pick up where you left off.

Everything You Need for Data Management

IBM SPSS Complex Samples provides what you need for the data management stage when working with sample survey data. And it easily plugs into other IBM SPSS Statistics modules so you can seamlessly work in the IBM SPSS Statistics environment.

IBM SPSS Complex Samples Selection (CSSELECT) procedure -- Enables you to select complex, probability-based samples from a population while mitigating the risk in doing so (e.g. over- or under-representing a subgroup). CSSELECT chooses units according to a sample design created through the CSPLAN procedure.

With this procedure, you can:

Control the scope of execution and specify a seed value with the CRITERIA subcommand

Control whether or not user-missing values of classification (stratification and clustering) variables are treated as valid variables with the CLASSMISSING subcommand

IBM SPSS Complex Samples Plan (CSPLAN) – Use this procedure to specify the sampling frame to create a complex sample design or analysis specification used by companion procedures in IBM SPSS Complex Samples

When you use both conjoint analysis and competitive product market research for your new products, you are less likely to overlook product dimensions that are important to your customers or constituents, and more likely to successfully meet their needs.

With IBM SPSS Conjoint, you can easily measure the tradeoff effect of each product attribute in the context of a set of product attributes – as consumers do when making purchasing decisions.

For example, you can answer critical product market research questions:

What product attributes do my customers care about?

What are the most preferred attribute levels?

How can I most effectively perform pricing and brand equity studies?

You can answer all of your questions before you spend valuable resources trying to bring products or services to market. Use IBM SPSS Conjoint to focus your efforts on the service or product development that has the best chance of succeeding.

IBM SPSS Conjoint gives you all the tools you need for developing product and service attribute ratings. You can use its three procedures to:

Generate designs easily – use Orthoplan, the design generator, to produce an orthogonal array of alternative potential products or services that combine different product/service features at specified levels

Get informative results – analyze your data using Conjoint, a procedure that's a specially tailored version of regression. Find out which product/service attributes are important and at which levels they are most preferred. You can also perform simulations that tell you the market share of preference for alternative products

Conduct intelligent planning

Expand the capabilities of IBM SPSS Statistics Base with IBM SPSS Conjoint. Make better decisions about your data and gain knowledge in the planning stage that you can carry throughout the analytical process.

Save time and money by generating a set of conjoint experimental trials that are a fraction of all possible combinations and attribute levels. You'll quickly learn how your respondents rank their preferences when you create and print cards they can sort. And, with the results from the Conjoint procedure, you'll learn how your respondents rank product attributes. Here are more details on each procedure:

Plancards enables you to produce printed cards for a conjoint experiment.

Conjoint enables you to perform an ordinary least-squares analysis of preference or rating, working with a plan file generated through Plancards or with one inputted from a data list. Various graphing and printing options are available.

Using the procedures in IBM SPSS Neural Networks, you can develop more accurate and effective predictive models. The result? Deeper insight and better decision making.

What is a neural network?

A computational neural network is a set of non-linear data modeling tools consisting of input and output layers plus one or two hidden layers. The connections between neurons in each layer have associated weights, which are iteratively adjusted by the training algorithm to minimize error and provide accurate predictions.

Complement traditional statistical techniques

The procedures in IBM SPSS Neural Networks complement the more traditional statistics in IBM SPSS Statistics Base and its modules. Find new associations in your data with Neural Networks and then confirm their significance with traditional statistical techniques

How can you use IBM SPSS Neural Networks?

You can combine Neural Networks with other statistical procedures to gain clearer insight in a number of areas:

Market research

Create customer profiles

Discover customer preferences

Database marketing

Segment your customer base

Optimize campaigns

Financial analysis

Analyze applicants’ creditworthiness

Detect possible fraud

Operational analysis

Manage cash flow

Improve logistics planning

Healthcare

Forecast treatment costs

Perform medical outcomes analysis

Use data mining techniques

IBM SPSS Neural Networks provides a complementary approach to the data analysis techniques available in IBM SPSS Statistics Base and its modules. From the familiar IBM SPSS Statistics interface, you can “mine” your data for hidden relationships, using either the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) or Radial Basis Function (RBF) procedure.

Both of these are supervised learning techniques – that is, they map relationships implied by the data. Both use feed-forward architectures, meaning that data moves in only one direction, from the input nodes through the hidden layer or layers of nodes to the output nodes.

Your choice of procedure will be influenced by the type of data you have and the level of complexity you seek to uncover. While the MLP procedure can find more complex relationships, the RBF procedure is generally faster.

With either of these approaches, the procedure operates on a training set of data and then applies that knowledge to the entire dataset, and to any new data.

Control the process from start to finish

After selecting a procedure, you specify the dependent variables, which may be scale, categorical or a combination of the two. You adjust the procedure by choosing how to partition the dataset, what sort of architecture you want and what computation resources will be applied to the analysis.

IBM® SPSS® Bootstrapping makes it simple to test the stability and reliability of your models so that they produce accurate, reliable results.

IBM SPSS Categories (a $1200 value)

IBM® SPSS® Categories provides you with all the tools you need to obtain clear insight into complex categorical and numeric data, as well as high-dimensional data.

Use IBM SPSS Categories to understand which characteristics consumers relate most closely to your brand, or to determine customer perception of your products compared to other products you or your competitors offer.

Work with and understand nominal (e.g. salary) and ordinal (e.g. education level) data with procedures similar to conventional regression, principal components and canonical correlation to predict outcomes and reveal relationships

Visually interpret datasets and see how rows and columns relate in large tables of scores, counts, ratings, rankings or similarities

Graphically display underlying relationships

IBM SPSS Categories’ dimension reduction techniques enable you to clarify relationships in your data by using perceptual maps and biplots:

Perceptual maps are high-resolution summary charts that graphically display similar variables or categories close to each other. They provide you with unique insight into relationships between more than two categorical variables.

Biplots and triplots enable you to look at the relationships among cases, variables and categories. For example, you can define relationships between products, customers and demographic characteristics.

By using the preference scaling feature, you can further visualize relationships among objects. The breakthrough algorithm on which this procedure is based enables you to perform non-metric analyses for ordinal data and obtain meaningful results. The proximities scaling procedure allows you to analyze similarities between objects, and incorporate characteristics for objects in the same analysis.

The data are a 2x5x6 table containing information on two genders, five age groups and six products. This plot shows the results of a two-dimensional multiple correspondence analysis of the table. Notice that products such as "A" and "B" are chosen at younger ages and by males, while products such as "G" and "C" are preferred at older ages.

Notice that products such as "A" and "B" are chosen at younger ages and by males, while products such as "G" and "C" are preferred at older ages.

Turn qualitative variables into quantitative ones

Perform additional statistical operations on categorical data with the advanced procedures available in IBM SPSS Categories:

Use optimal scaling procedures to assign units of measurement and zero-points to your categorical data

Choose from state-of-the art procedures for model selection and regularization

Perform correspondence and multiple correspondence analyses to numerically evaluate similarities between two or more nominal variables in your dataset

Summarize your data according to important components by using principal components analysis

Use nonlinear canonical correlation analysis to incorporate and analyze variables of different measurement levels

Procedures and statistics for analyzing categorical data

Using IBM SPSS Categories with IBM SPSS Statistics Base gives you a selection of statistical techniques for analyzing high-dimensional or categorical data, including:

Categorical regression that predicts the values of a nominal, ordinal or numerical outcome variable from a combination of categorical predictor variables. Optimal scaling techniques are used to quantify variables. Three regularization methods: Ridge regression, the Lasso and the Elastic Net, improve prediction accuracy by stabilizing the parameter estimates.

Correspondence analysis that enables you to analyze two-way tables that contain some measurement of correspondence between rows and columns, as well as display rows and columns as points in a map.

Multiple correspondence analysis which is used to analyze multivariate categorical data by allowing the use of more than two variables in your analysis. With this procedure, all the variables are analyzed at the nominal level (unordered categories).

Nonlinear canonical correlation analysis uses optimal scaling to generalize the canonical correlation analysis procedure so that it can accommodate variables of mixed measurement levels. This type of analysis enables you to compare multiple sets of variables to one another in the same graph, after removing the correlation within sets.

Multidimensional scaling performs multidimensional scaling of one or more matrices with similarities or dissimilarities (proximities).

Preference scaling visually examines relationships between two sets of objects, for example, consumers and products. Preference scaling performs multidimensional unfolding in order to find a map that represents the relationships between these two sets of objects as distances between two sets of points

IBM SPSS Exact Tests (a $1200 value)

IBM® SPSS® Exact Tests (formerly PASW® Exact Tests) gives you what's needed to more accurately work with small samples and analyze rare occurrences in large datasets.

IBM SPSS Exact Tests enables you to use small samples and still feel confident about the results. With the money saved using smaller sample sizes, you can conduct surveys or test direct marketing programs more often. Stay ahead of the competition by using these resources to find new opportunities.

Easily Interpret and Apply Exact Tests

With IBM SPSS Exact Tests, there is no steep learning curve, because you don't need to learn any new statistical theories or procedures. You simply interpret the exact tests results the same way you already interpret the results in IBM SPSS Statistics Base.

You'll always have the right statistical test for your data situation. IBM SPSS Exact Tests provides more than 30 exact tests, which cover the entire spectrum of nonparametric and categorical data problems for small or large datasets. These tests include one-sample, two-sample and K-sample tests on independent or related samples, goodness-of-fit tests, tests of independence in RxC contingency tables and on measures of association.

And, with the release of IBM SPSS Statistics 19, both the client and server versions of IBM SPSS Exact Tests are available on Mac® and Linux®, as well as on Windows® operating systems

More Statistics for Data Analysis

Expand the capabilities of IBM SPSS Statistics Base for the data analysis stage in the analytical process. Using IBM SPSS Exact Tests with IBM SPSS Statistics Base gives you an even wider range of statistics, so you can get the most accurate response when:

Working with a small number of cases

Working with variables that have a high percentage of response in one category

Dividing your data into fine breakdowns

Searching for rare occurrences in large datasets (such as sales above $1 million)

IBM SPSS Exact Tests easily plugs into other IBM SPSS Statistics modules so you can seamlessly work in the IBM SPSS Statistics environment.

Get greater value from your data: with IBM SPSS Exact Tests, you can slice and dice your data into breakdowns, which can be as fine as you want, so you learn more by extending your analysis to subgroups. You aren't limited by required expected counts of five or more per cell for correct results. And you can even rely on IBM SPSS Exact Tests when you're searching for rare occurrences within large datasets.

Keep your original categories: don't lose valuable information by collapsing categories to meet the assumptions of traditional tests. With IBM SPSS Exact Tests, you can keep your original design or natural categories—for example, regions, income, or age groups—and analyze what you intended to analyze.

IBM SPSS Exact Tests has the tests and statistics you need get the more insight from your small samples and rare occurrences within large databases. These procedures include:
